    Yes once it happened to me and i ended up throwing it out as a result but others have been absolutly fine when iv used a salt solution and its only happened once too me aswell. I thought it was maybe the fragrance i used and as iv been adding the fragrance after the salt then adding a little...

    Can Liquid Aloe Vera be used as a solubilizer?

    Could it be the recipe your using thats caused this? Iv only made 2 batches of liquid soap so far from alot of experience but i have used tea tree and lavender essential oils in the first batch and although it did thicken, it wasnt so bad as to go into a gel. Iv been testing scents with my...

    Help! Homemade beezwax candle tunnelling and burning out quick!?

    Ok for starters you shouldnt put stuff in the wax like that as it can cause fires if it floats and gets into the wick. Secondly it looks and sounds like you most likely dont have big enough wicks bees wax need larger wicks than most wax does. So say parafin is recommended to use an eco 6 wick...

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    thank you ill try that tomorrow, iv just realised that i can make about batch without the moulds as they are the loaf silicone liner and wooden box kind so i can just line them with freezer paper as a one off solution

    What soapy thing have you done today?

    Freezer space is even more scarce than soaping moulds would the fridge help? iv got enough space in there? I just did as someone suggested and added water a little at a time and added enough to be able to break the cut soap up i didnt grate it because it was so fresh it was still to soft to...

    It Was Bound To Happen Eventually...need advice...

    I dont normally make that much but bigger batches make it quicker and easier to sort for the donations. Im in the uk so i have to pay for assessed soaps so this was a prewritten on a chemist did so we could help and donate where possible but also allows us to sell aswell. ah well could be worse...
